'Bal Lada' is the third album from Polish pagan black metal group Varmia, who pays tribute to their Baltic roots by combining black metal sounds with traditional instruments such as the goat horn and the tagelharpa. The result is a compelling mix of dark metallic sounds that channel the spirit of early Enslaved, Satyricon, Primordial and Wolves In The Throne Room and folk elements from acts such as Wardruna and Heilung.
